New Hyundai i30 (2012) revealed ahead of Frankfurt debut

2012 Hyundai i30 Revealed A couple of weeks ago we were teased with a sketch of the new Hyundai i30 ahead of a planned debut at Frankfurt 2011.

But despite the steep prices, the Model S can be something of a bargain, especially if you’re a business user.
